This morning saw Mari's sister head back to Venezuela for the holidays. Actually this place has become very quiet for us as most of the V-Crew head back to the Sun and family reunions. I'm only sad that Mari is not able to go too although as mentioned before we were there in March.
It is really strange having in-laws that are so far away and seem so detached from us. By contrast the ex laws were always poking their noises in and it was very rare that we didn't see them.
Mari's parents are lovely. Both of them used to be teachers so just about everyone knows them in the town. Going around with her Dad there is always someone he is shouting at. By that I mean in a good way. In Venezuela if you see someone you know give them a shout out..literally. Her Mum is more quiet but as always is the rock of the family. They made me feel very welcome and I am sure it must have been very weird for them meeting me as their son in law.
Hoping we can get back there soon but we have to juggle things which is always hard.
